The RX division suits experienced athletes who complete workouts without scaling, move confidently through pull-ups, double unders, and handstand push-ups, and handle a barbell including full squat snatches or cleans at or above 95 pounds. The BAM division welcomes those newer to competing or functional fitness with built-in scaling and modifications, an introduction-friendly approach to Olympic lifting, and a supportive environment ideal for a first or second event. The competition also supports Compete for a Cure, with each team able to create a fundraising page and have fundraising count toward the overall score. After registration, teams receive a referral link, and if four teams sign up using that link, the referring team competes at no cost. Expect challenging workouts, loud cheers, and a focus on lifting each other up long after the last rep.
